Problem: The high heat from the stainless carts being washed was melting the vinyl floor outside the washing units. The hospital had been written up many times during inspections and needed a solution for the floors near the washing units. They also needed something to withstand the steam temps and chemicals being used. The repair needed to be fast cure in nature as well since limited down time was available.

Vinyl Flooring Removed

Floor area grinded

Belzona 1321 applied in front of Cartwash units

Belzona 4311 applied to rest of the area

Application Situation

This application was quoted originally with Belzona 5811 but because of the longer cure times we had to requote using more expensive materials that would cure faster. As soon as we requoted with shortened more expensive method they sent a PO for the job.

Application Method

Arrived at hospital Saturday morning at 8 aM. We taped off and cut out existing vinyl flooring. We then grinded entire floor with Hepa filter concrete grinder. After cleaning the floor we repaired uneven areas with Belzona 1121. We taped off Cart entrances and applied two coats of Belzona 1321. Came back Sunday morning and taped off rest of area , applied one coat Belzona 4911, and applied two coats of Belzona 4311. Application finished at 12 noon and Hospital crew came in later in evening to reassemble the room. Area put back to use Monday morning.
